Hi All,
The folks at the Kitchen Theater asked me to help spread the word about this upcoming production. John Fitzpatrick is giving a special pre-show talk ahead of the February 8th performance, and looks like we bird-folk can get a discount on tickets for any night. --Marc Kitchen Theatre Company begins 2017 with a world premiere of a new play called *Birds of East Africa* by Wendy Dann. We are reaching out to individuals and groups with interests in birding and ornithology about this exciting production. Ornithologists are not regularly the central character in plays, and rarely do we get to hear about the synergy between birds and humans in theatrical productions. Playwright Wendy Dann has done extensive research exploring the keen observational abilities of birders to inform the character Marion's unique world view. The play runs from January 29th to February 12, 2017 with six performances each week. There are scheduled talk backs throughout the run and a special pre-show talk on Wednesday, February 8th by Lab of Ornithology Director Dr. John W. Fitzpatrick, Ph.D*.**,* followed by a performance at 7:30pm We are offering a special discount ticket for birders, ornithologists and researchers to see the play. To purchase a ticket call 607 272-0570 <(607)%20272-0570> weekdays between 11am and 5pm or on-line *here* <http://boxoffice.printtixusa.com/kitchentheatre/agenda> and use the code *BIRDS25. *There is also a special group rate ticket for parties of 10 or more. We have added the press release below and for more information on the show please visit our website here <http://kitchentheatre.org/birds_of_east_africa.html>*.* To arrange for a group, or request an additional post-show talk back, please contact me, Michelle Blau, Administration and Management Fellow. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
